A GOOD SCHOOL AND A GOOD TEACHER
The Exhibition and the Patrons of
the SchoOI-.-Speech of Jas. S. Per-
rim, Esq---A Community of People
Who Believe in Education.

Editor Press and Banner:
1t was the pleasure OF your correspondent
touttend the school celebration of the Mount
Hill school, situated four miles above Hodges.
The school is presided over by Prof. +. c. Rice.
and for the past six months he has had an
unusually large attendance-the school now
numbering about seventy pupils. The good
people OF the community who are the patrons
OF the school had gathered in numbers, to
witness the exhibition, and evinced much in
terest in the affairs OF the school. The eXer-
cises consisted of declamations, recltations,
dialogues and songs by the school, all OF
which were well rendered, and showed care
full training. After the exercises by the pu.:
pills were over, Mr.. James S. Perrin, editor OF
the Abberiiie Messenger, delivered an address
upon the Public School System. in which he
took the ground that in order to reap the
greatest benefit from the system, the public
fund must be regarded merely us a supple
mental one. After this address sumptuous
dinner was served, which was enjoyed by all
present. The people in this community are
thoroughly aroused upon the subject OF edu-
cation and intend maintaining u good school,
though 1t does cost them something. In Mr..
Rice they have most competent teacher,
and if possible they intend to keep him. The
day was very pleasant one and thoroughly
enjoyed bya VISITOR.
